LeBron James Stands Alone As He Breaks All-Time Scoring Record

I don’t know who took the timeout for the huge celebration that took place on the court after LeBron James became the all-time leading scorer in NBA history, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The NBA is going to have to sort that out or maybe they just took one for themselves to give the man a celebration deserving of the feat.

At the age of 19, LeBron James joined the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003. Since then, he went to the Miami Heat in 2010, back to Cleveland in 2014, and finally to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018 where he’s been ever since. On each of those teams, he’s accumulated points that as of last night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder in which the Lakers lost, those points add up to 38,390. Before that, Kareem held the record at 38,387.

He has often been compared to Michael Jordan as to who is the GOAT. There are fans on both sides of that argument and this achievement will definitely up LeBron James another key point when it comes to the comparison between the two athletes.

It’s a fact that when Michael Jordan played the game, he changed it. Period. He played sick. He played amazingly. He left a bright shining glow on the game when he left that is still there to this day, that James himself has had to play under as he has risen through the ranks.

That would be the reason many believe Michael Jordan to be the undisputed GOAT. But let’s not rain on LeBron James’ parade. He became the highest scorer of all time, and after scoring those points at the end of the third quarter, he was done for the night. He didn’t score for the rest of the game, an entire quarter left and he didn’t contribute much of anything else finishing the night with 38 points to go along with 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals!

Michael Jordan would have won the game. Just putting that out there. In all seriousness, congratulations LeBron! That’s an amazing achievement that solidifies you as a legend of the NBA with a phenomenal legacy that will always be remembered.
